The flight to Warner Robins was not canceled, but there was only one seat left when the roll was called at 18:55. Perhaps it is for the best, since one woman got on with her seven children!
There are, however, many wonderful things I can report about today:
1. Hawaii is beautiful even on a cloudy, rainy day with the palm trees swaying in the gentle breeze and the mild temperatures. It's just too bad we cannot really enjoy it, because we are trapped in the terminal all day waiting for the flights to post. No Luau, no pineapple, no leis, no beach, and no Hula dancers.
2. We had a very comfortable place to wait for our flight - with Internet access and a TV
3. We were able to become further acquainted with the fellow-travelers we met yesterday.
We have met a dentist and his wife from Michigan just beginning their retirement and using Space A to have a three-month Asian adventure. Two gentlemen are traveling solo with their wives at home - one from Knoxville (retired Air Force Chaplain) and the other on his way home to Guam (retired Master Chief/Steward). Another couple, a Judge and his wife, are on their way home to Williamsburg. We have had conversations about politics, family relationships, travel and more travel. Everyone has great stories to tell, helpful tips to share, and in general a wonderful outlook on life that is infectious.
4. We were able to get a room on base - the Alaka 'I Inn - AND the nice couple from Williamsburg went out of their way to give us a lift there in their rental car.
We have two days left of our Rx meds, and I have two squeezes of toothpaste left in my travel-size tube. Our patience is wearing thin - especially because of the need for medicine, so we are contemplating using our nearly-good-for-nothing Delta miles to get home.
